“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” — most
people do not realize this cute little song is actually a tragic tale of abuse.
The lyrics of the song tell it all.

All the other reindeer laughed at
Rudolph and called him names and would not let him play any of the reindeer
games.

I would have to say this amounts to a
case of Rudolph being bullied and discriminated against because of his physical
features.

All of this went on right under Santa’s
nose and would have continued had the weather have been fair instead of foggy
one fateful Christmas Eve.

Suddenly, Rudolph is a hero and all the
other reindeer loved him — what a joke — they were just doing this to please
Santa Claus.

I’ll bet they still talked about Rudy
behind his back.

The story ends there, but I wonder how
Rudolph was able to handle his sudden celebrity status. We see lots of people
who become stars only to fall because they could not deal with being famous.

Maybe “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”
should be sung as a blues song.
